Camber APEX Conversations:
INTO ACTION - A National
Perspective on Corporate
Workplace DEI
7-8:30 a.m., MR400s
The future is happening right
now and workplaces that value
diversity and honor inclusive
practices are employing
some of the brightest minds
across the U.S. Join for a Camber
APEX Conversation with
Rick Wade of the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce about how
communities of leaders and
changemakers at corporations
across the nation are taking
action to win customers and
talent in the 21st century.
Your Audiences Are Out There
and There Might Be More of
Them Than You Think
9-10 a.m., MR400s
As the outdoor industry takes
urgent action to become the
fi rst climate positive industry
by 2030, it's more important
than ever to reach audiences
and customers with compelling,
authentic storytelling.
We'll discuss how to develop
omnichannel digital strategies
to connect with audiences
and make sure they know
your business is making sustainability
investments and
taking action. Panelists will
include brand, advocacy, and
strategy experts.
OIA - Thriving Business:
Workforce Trends in the
Post-Pandemic Era
11 a.m.-1 p.m., MR400s
Thanks to unprecedented
outdoor participation rates
and the prevailing desire for
physical-distancing-friendly
wide-open spaces, it's no
secret that the industry is
experiencing an impressive
rebound from the COVID-19
pandemic. But as companies
ramp up to meet increasing
demand and decide whether
to return to the offi ce or
forego the offi ce entirely, what
can we expect to see from the
outdoor industry workforce?
How can you prepare for
return-to-offi ce-related turnover?
How will you reinvest in
developing your high-potential
employees? How can you
leverage headcount to bring
fresh perspectives into your
organization?
Join a panel of workforce
educators and outdoor industry
leaders as we discuss what
data from other industries is
telling us, what we can expect
to see in the coming months
and how to avoid getting
caught fl at-footed as the
post-pandemic work world
takes shape.
*OIA will host lunch tickets
redeemable at Outdoor Retailer
participating food trucks.
Limited quantities available.
